About Lazuli
Lazuli's was donated to Bluebonnet when her owner could no longer care for her. She was bred by and lived her entire life with her previous owner. She was well cared for and seems to have been mostly a pasture pet. She is very lovey and wants attention on the ground. When Lazuli arrived, she was blind in her left eye. After a while, the eye began to cause her pain and we had it surgically removed. She's adjusted to life without that eye and is doing well.
Lazuli competed in the Non-Pro Under Saddle Division of the 2024 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge with Darbi Harris. You can follow her progress on her Facebook page CLICK HERE
Evaluation and Training
Lazuli's owner said she was green under saddle, and they did not ride her after she went blind. Prior to that, they said she was an occasional trail horse.
She was preparing for the 2023 Bluebonnet Rescue Horse Training Challenge in the Non-Pro Under Saddle division and doing great with her Challenge partner. They were riding, including on trails. They had to withdraw because Lazuli's eye was bothering her and needed to be removed, so she didn't get to compete.
Then in 2024, she was with a novice Challenge partner and did get to compete in the Training Challenge. She went home with a new foster home who has spent time riding her around their property and on trails. They even led her through a parade!
Everyone who has met Lazuli says she is a sweet mare who loves attention.
She's hoping to find a home where she can do some light trail riding and be a beloved part of the family. She can be a little pushy on the ground, so we don't feel she's right for a novice kid, but a kid with some experience or who is working with a trainer, or an adult should do well with her.
